I was in Canada over the long weekend (and extra day off I took) and it was hilarious hearing someone complain that it was too hot and they felt like they were dying. It was 80.

I have a very vague memory of hearing commentary of his funeral on the radio when I was very young.

I drove past the railway station today on my way to Coventry for a meeting.[COLOR="Silver"]

Apart from laughing (it was hilarious) what did you say?

I remember in 1996 I went to London in June. I felt cool enough I wore a light jumper AND the Englishmen were walking around central London with their shirts off, getting sunburnt and saying 'so hot, so hot'. That was at the time of the European Cup of Soccer, which was won by the Germans that year. I got beer thrown at me because a Polish man next to me asked an Englishman at a pub who won. They get overly emotional about a game of soccer. In Australia we would just say 'hope we do better in the rugby' or '... in the cricket', or in ... .

BTW: it just came to half time in the soccer between Portugal and Wales. Neither side has been good enough to score anything at all, all the way to half time.

Looks like Wales' brave run has ended. Gareth Bale is a fine skipper - England missed him - but Ronaldo's a pretty good player, too. 😊

Umm, this is quite pleasant in the summer, definitely on he cooler side of things for me. Then I told them how hot it gets in Indiana, and then factored in the humidity, then told them how hot it is where my mom lives in southern Nevada. I was told those conditions are inhumane and that people probably die from it.

Also, if I wanted to see a grown man work but not score for 90 minutes I might have to take a friend or two to the bar.

It really is not all that bad!
I remember eating it at Christmas, when I was about 6 years old...

robtcorl · 07-06-2016, 06:24 PM

If lutefisk looks disgusting, smells disgusting, and tastes disgusting, then I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's most likely disgusting.
That is why we have BACON!

Right. There's nothing quite like a lutefisk and bacon sammich on rye.
Not enough Ms in Mmmmmmm to describe it.

May as well put velveeta and vegemite on it at that point. I'm not eating it.
